Protests erupted in Buenos Aires as Argentina's Senate debated and narrowly approved President Javier Milei's sweeping economic reform package, comprising 238 articles. The reforms, which aim to deregulate the economy by cutting subsidies and removing price controls, faced significant opposition. Demonstrators clashed with police, who used tear gas, water cannons, and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds. Protesters set fires and attacked police, including flipping and torching a Cadena 3 news van. The Senate's approval came after a tie-breaking vote by Vice President Victoria Villarruel. Despite the general approval, key fiscal measures still await detailed discussion and final passage. The reforms have sparked widespread controversy and violent protests, highlighting the deep divisions within the country regarding Milei's economic policies.
